Good morning ladies, we made it home on Tuesday night around 10:00. Trip home was actually an easy ride and we sailed though the city and over the bridge back to LI. Yesterday was an extremely long day........worked from 9 to 6 and today looks to be more of the same. Although I will only be there till 3 I have tons of stuff on my desk to take care of. Problems, problems, problems..........wish they would all go away. Washer and dryer are twirling and swirling away, I just finished my morning tea and I am going to head into the shower and get out of here. I need to get into the office just a little bit earlier since I left it a mess yesterday. I can not start my day with a messy desk. Looks cold outside so that will not be fun this afternoon. Katie has to ride, and I hate being down at that barn when it is so cold outside and I have so much to do everywhere. Thank goodness I will be around Saturday and Sunday so I should be able to catch up around here.


Thankfuls: My beautiful little nephew who just brings a smile to everyone, my Katie for her

Good Morning,

It is chilly out there this morning and looking out the basement window the icicles are still clinging to my neighbors' gutters. They also have a shrub that the icicles are hanging in a way that looks like a frozen waterfall. It's really kind of cool to look at it. The sun is shining and skies are blue which makes me feel good. Looking at the forecast they temperatures are supposed to warm up and we may be looking at temperatures in the 50's.

It was another exhausting day at work yesterday. I decided I really needed to find out what was lurking in my in box since I haven't seen the bottom in a very long time. Some rather frightening finds in there. Nothing traumatizing but things that needed to be unearthed. Lots of things to do for the day ahead.

Another day coming home just bone tired. I decided to head out after dinner with Otto and it was actually a really nice night for a walk. Otto was a little frustrated trying to get to his favorite spots so it was a quick paced walk. I was hoping it would recharge my battery and after cleaning up the kitchen it was a half hearted attempt at a workout. No exercise tonight as I will be exercising my brain this evening.

More problems with DH's job. No contract, no extension of the present contract, no return calls from management to the union which means they're not obligated to pay any benefits at the end of the month which could mean no health insurance at the end of the month. The union has offered salary give backs and a change in our insurance which lowers the cost but apparently they want a roll back to 2005 wages. It just seems like no matter what the offer is management's answer is no. Very, very unsettling.

Patty-I decided not to take the test. With DH taking a test and looking to get out I figured I would stay put. My pay is better and I'm just very leery about rocking the boat even a little bit at this point. Part of it is lack of self confidence in myself and other is just feeling like I need to stay where I am for better or worse!

But I am trying to keep to the day to day and can't worry about the day ahead just 'cause there's not much you can do about it. I am thankful for good neighbors that helped with the snow dig out. Thankful that I didn't have to travel out in the nasty weather. Thankful for family members that got safely to their destinations. Thankful that DD arrived safely in Las Vegas. Thankful for the extra daylight. Thankful for the roof over our heads, the ability to pay our bills, food on the table, wheels to take me to and from.

Wishing you all enough! Have a great day!

Susan
